Earlier this month the Vancouver Province reported that "The City of Vancouver appears to have breached its procurement policy after Vision Mayor Gregor Robertson reportedly approved a contract worth almost $95,000 for a prominent supporter of his party, according to a legal expert."

"Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she was concerned the mayors were backing down on their stance against increasing property taxes after 'we stood that line for a long time,' while looking to slap more fees on drivers - especially in communities south of the Fraser River where they don’t have the transit services in place." Indeed. Keep her, fire Hepner and Robertson. It's that simple.

Delta MLA Walter Davidson was right - scrap the GVRD and the Mayors glutton counsel. It's a costly bureaucratic and ineffective organization. We already have a provincial government.

Not a nickel more to translink/skytrain, whatever until they start working within their budget. We spend all this money with few positive results and yet won't spend money on adequate health care, child care, mental health care.

The entire transit thing is one huge cavern where tax dollars go. Its time to end it. We can't afford it.

Why even bother. In another 15 years the City of Vancouver will be empty and businesses will have moved to the Valley or gone to Calgary. these transit lines only make it more profitable for developers to move further and further out. With them go the higher costs of housing and transportation.

I'd suggest the federal Liberals not give the B.C. LIeberals a nickel in infrastructure money because it will simply be wasted, like all our other tax dollars.
